Almost A Year

It's been a almost a year since my last post on fashion and personal stuff here in my blog. Has anyone missed me, I wouldn't know. But if there's any, THANK YOU! Did I miss doing outfit posts, DEFINITELY!

My lifestyle's real different now... but I missed this kind of pace--- when all you think of is work and how to do better. Sadly, I cannot afford to do daily outfit posts now since we are required to wear a uniform. *sob *sob BUT of course, we always have our ways. I go to work sporting playful make-up and/or nails. I do away with the boring clothes by making it up with my eyes, lips, nails and by accessorizing.:)

With this, let me share to you my previous #worklookoftheday and my current staple at work (this' gon be quick) ;)

Staple: White wrist watch, LiveStrong Baller, Studded White Leather Cuff and My Wrist Tattoo.

My pastel coloured nails with odd-one-out. :)

And my current addiction: super pink lippies. :)

Here we go again, down to my parting words. :) But I will not make any promises to myself I can't keep. I just hope that I'll have nuff words and thoughts and encounter to share ---

--- oh, and to those who're mad about the #TeamAzkals, we are having them on the 20th, this Friday at the Atrium here at SM City Marikina featuring Aly Borromeo, Anton Del Rosario, Chieffy  Caligdong, and Jason Sabio in line with placing 3rd on the 2012 AFC Challenge Cup! (:

I Need A "Substitute"

No, not a substitute substitute. I think, and I feel that I need to own a pair of "Substitute!"!!!

This is Substitute's first and only installation in the super fa-shoe-nable online shoe haven, Solestruck at the moment. Dubbed as "Club Kid," I anticipate heads turning, eyes rolling down, and people falling onto your feet to check where the height is coming from. As solestruck puts it, "CLUB KID is not messing around." It's serious, and by serious, I mean 4 1/2" heel and 4" platform --- "full throttle flatform madness," indeed.

Personally, the whole "flatform" idea attracts me; not to mention that this will be a great "substitute" for the vertically challenged club.

Adding to Cart in 5---4---3---2---

Will I be a Club Kid member? ;)

The Resurrection of my "blog." I HOPE!!!

Wow. It's been a while. Kind of makes me feel brand new in this game once more. Give that some looooong pauses in between these words I type. Haha.

Anyway. Maybe, I need to push myself. And since it's the first day of the month (we're on 7th and I'm like what happened to the first sem?!), I thought I should post something to get me started.

And just the right inspiration popped out of my screen:

I know the summer line's on sale and it's been raining, but its not like our weather's gon' reach some negative fahrenheit. So YAYYY to dresses. And fingers crossed for shoes that fit.

Some minutes ago, I was gonna blog abt how therapeutic and accessible online "window" shopping was. I managed to make a few purchases and even if I didn't get to buy everything I saw, I know I was fine.

UNTIL I checked solestruck and saw these gorgeously sick plats I'd love to wear...

JC Benched

.. I swear, if only JC was super updated as madden is here in f'lip @___@ my feet would be partying ^____^

Also fell in love with JC El Carmen:

The pink and red polka was cute, but I prefer this version. GAAAAAHHHH!!! Have mercy on my bank account.



Oh for the record, didn't purchase any of the two. Saving for MID Year Super Shopping Spree. ;)

PS
I'll be going on a "roadtrip" with my super friends this weekend --- as in a few hours. If ever I don't get to update on rants, sights and whatnot, it means that our presidential suite-vip treatment (lmaooo) has been compromised by the bad wifi connection (i hope not; i really have high hopes). This experience wouldn't be made possible if it weren't for my friend whose husband works as an exec chef.

Mars Got No WiFi

It's been ages since my last outfit post. Got lazy coz boyf's not around to take my pictures - lame, lame, lame. I know. And I feel bad coz its kind of a let down to those who decided to follow my blog. So, sorry 'bout that. No promises, but will lure myself to get hooked once more. ;) Thanks to Denise's hard push, i'm back to blogging.

Anyhow, I think I managed to get decent photos courtesy of Denise and our coffee dates, strolls and whatnots. So yay! This was dated way back first hits of march when we sort of discussed bout our recent shoot and some future plans. (see denise's for date reference... lmaooo)

Anywayhigwaymyway, keeping this rather short - coz obviously, there's a lot of catching up I hafta make! >.<

Lusting over Jeffrey Campbells

I still haven't satisfied my JC cravings. It's been forever, and now here comes another set to join my long list: Lana & Ford. Saw this on solestruck, and died -___- and i just had to share, else it'll hunt me in my dreams --- shoegasmic dreams. @___@

Blog Make-over.

Hi Loves! Yes. Still bummed out. Yes. Still no uploads. But now, I am thinking of change. I am thinking of makeover-ing my blog. :D so just keep your hopes up. and i'll be done and uploading in no time.

Maternal Leave Much?!

Yes. One day I'm in, the following days I'm out. IKR.

I've been up and down in 2011's first two months. And I can't end the second month without posting and updating. I know that my blog doesn't really go as far as million followers, but I just wanna keep those who clicked "follow" posted with what has been for the simplest reason that their simple gesture is very much appreciated. And I really do apologize for the lack of update.

Anyway, pictures overload coming right up in the following posts.

Much love,
Cheens

New Year, New Friend

So we've completed the first half of 2011's first month roll. I have been going through lots of ups and downs. And so to help me cope with all these, my friends along with my boyfriend's friends helped me list down things I would be doing/trying on my own. It was like seeking growth apart from my partner - which is healthy for our relationship as it would take our maturity a notch higher than just relying too much on each other.

Part of my list was to meet new friends. This was suggested by my boyfriend's friend who said: "why not try meeting new friends or at least try making new ones from old acquaintances." And I was like, "hello, as if I'm not friends with my "acquaintances". And tell me, how the hey am I supposed to meet someone new? I'm not in school anymore, yadah-yadah-yadah."

A week after - who would've thought that this would be the first to be crossed out from the list.

Last Tuesday, Denise and I have finally seen each other face to face. We started to exchange messages regarding collaborations and all that late December. And I never really expected that, from just plain collaboration, I'd find a friend in her. Not that I was all choosy-cat, and was not being friendly, but I just didn't expect that she would gracefully touch my heart.

Denise, apart from having a great balance of style and comfort, is a sweet person. Having done meet-ups for the very first time, I came empty handed. While she came all prepared. I swear, I blushed and flushed from my seat when she handed me a cute bag with a cute notepad, ring, and a sweet note. :)

And yes Denise, I will make it up to you... whether you like it or not ;)

We had dinner at Breton. And excuse the empty plates --- we were so into getting-to-know each other that we both forgot to at least take photos of our meet-up's highlights. She had a sandwich while I had the good old crepe. The dinner was lovely, and I'm glad that she liked her sandwich.

When the day has come to an end, we asked the server to take pictures of us -- and how I wish I just brought my digicam instead of the bulky slr. Kuya waiter, I think, struggled and I totally forgot to adjust the settings, so excuse the crappy lighting.

Anyway, here are some snaps I grabbed from Denise:

just when we said: "kuya whole body"

both in denim and print :P

I opted to dress comfortably in jeans and shirt coz of the girl thing. Added the floral blazer to spice things up a bit. And when I saw Denise in a denim maxi - and striped top, I'm like, "okay, i think I dressed down too much." But I'm glad that wasn't what she saw. *wink*

Denise is really a great person with such an endearing personality.

Check her out at  Simone's Fashion Closet to get to know her a bit more. And you might want to visit  Simone's Closet for great fashion finds that wont hurt your budget.

Christmas Stroll

Here's to the Christmas week:
1. Stroll around Eastwood. Had coffee - and here's my baby, tired from all the people greeting her gorgeous. :)

Santa Baby: Barguette in her Mrs. Claus outfit.

2. Nothing new stepping on this wanna-be hollywood walk of fame thing going on in Eastwood. But that moment, I found myself amused by it taking my wildest imagination to play - that I'm actually in hollywood stepping on the tourist attraction, walk-of-fame along with my boyfriend. O_O

 3. Never been as time conscious, 'til now. This is my cheapang watch. Bought it for 200php from Rockwell's early December bazaar. Anyway, I was just trying out my phone's lomo app. And I am amused by it.

 4. Outfit Post:

sleeveless polo - ensembles; mustard crochet dress - fickle; flats - primark

How was 2010's holiday season break to you? (:

Torn Between Two Timezones.

Hello Christmas!

It's the night before Christmas. Yay! I cooked Pesto Pasta and Grilled Steak with Gravy for the fambam. Ugh! Never thought cooking was that stressful.

ANYWAY. After sweating like a pig in the kitchen, I got all dressed up for dinner --- just at our humble home. And this is what I came up with:

Not the typical all red ensemble, i know. I went all basics to highlight the tiniest red detail i'm wearing --- my lips! After the lovely dinner with my Mom, Dad, Aunt, Ninang and house help; after exchanging gifts, hugs and kisses... I went straight up my room, went online and greeted my Baba "Merry Christmas."

Though there are lots of means for us to talk --- skype, facebook, ym, vonage and cellphones, nothing beats seeing him face to face, feeling his warmth through his embrace. But nothing can be done - that's us right now, this will be us for quite a while.

I can't wait to see him again. In person, and relive all events we've missed and what's left to miss. :(

Later loves!

Veer Away from Separation Anxiety

It has been days since he left. I feel my life was eaten by a big bug - and I couldn't save myself from it. *sigh* So what better thing to do than practice what he taught me and get better, right? So here's to boredom and a lot of "I miss you!"

a brooch i bought couple of years back

another brooch I found in my messed up closet.

pimped "witty will save the world" planner. hello christmas :/

I MISS YOU, BABA <3

Earlier, mom and I went to the mall for grocery and here's what I got when I went for a quick store-scan:

This one's a tribal-printed leggings that looks a lot like the one sold in f21. It's cheaper by a hundred. F21's version has a better kind of fabric, though. This, i think, is soooo 70's glam - matched with neon and all that. But for the mean time, I want to look boyish in this on Christmas Eve. :)

Later Loves,

What Little We Could, We Should.

Hi Loves.

Still holding on to my sadness. Ugh! I know that Christmas is fast approaching --- and I've lost the excitement I usually have in me. I guess that's because I know that despite the presence of my beloved parents who are ever supportive and loving, one very important person will not be around.

Then I realized that that would be so selfish of me to think of such things. Coming to think of it, it's his first Christmas to be with his whole fambam. All we've got to do is be a little more patient and sacrifice some more. We've got nothing to lose anyway. We have each other and our vows.

Oh well, Cowell.

Enough Cheena!

After hearing bout the two-day notice. My baba and I decided to scrap off sleep from our to-do list and headed straight to the nearest escape we could go to: Manila EcoPark.

There are lots of activities we could work on there and it'd be more practical as it is just within the city. So that meant more time for us in the evening to meet-and-greet friends. Yeay and dislike! I'm just glad that we'll be meeting with lots of our friends but I just don't like the idea that we're seeing them 'coz we can't be with them together in the days to come. :/

Anyway, with much excitement we brought our slr's all geared up for macro-photography only to realize that we have left the memory cards at home. So enjoy our camera phone shots:
1. He taught me how to ride a bike: EPIC SUCCESS! Who would've thought that a person could learn in one seating? He really is such a great teacher.

expert biker - making me super jealous!

just a few pedals and i'm down.

 

 

 

2. Long walk, Small Talks: Nothing beats random conversations that blurts out of long walks. Not to mention the little adventure that comes along the way. :)

3. Worst thing that could ever happen? Having to let go for a little while. :( I'll miss you baba!!! :(

all sweaty and sweet.

Your very mushy blogger,

Cheens
